I try to call a matlab function in C++. The matlab function is written by myself. But it seems that C++ doesn't call this function at all. I have successfully run "engwindemo.c". I also do a modification to "engwindemo.c" to make it call a simple function written by myself. It also doesn't work. I am thinking that maybe the function is not put in the right folder. What's the path that I should put my matlab function? Or are there other causes? Thanks for help!

The Engine starts up with the default folder, so if your function is not on the path at start up then the Engine will not see it. You will need to send some "cd" or "path" commands to the Engine first to make the function visible (or maybe have these in a startup.m file that the Engine executes).

Thank you very much James, it helps. But I still have problem. I write a simple m file, put it in matlab path and call it in "engwindemo.c" and it works this time. But the thing is it still doesn't work for the real m file I want to call both in "engwindemo.c" and my real C++ project. This m file has three inputs and three outputs, one of the inputs in a struct. I add a line "save info.mat" in the m file to examine the input, and it turns out it is not saved. It's still not called. What should I do?

Can you post the code for how you are calling this function from your C++ project? And in particular how you are constructing the inputs. Maybe you are using invalid inputs.

Sure! This is my code. I have been struggling for two days. Thank you for your help!

The function [FreCnt, UniqE, leg] = Search(info, query, thresh) is my matlab function. info is a struct with two fields, query is double vector, thresh is a double number. I checked that the inputs are read well. But still there is no return for the outputs. The matlab function also works well in matlab command. Thanks.

Hi James, after trial and error, I still couldn't figure out what's wrong with my code, then I gave up matlab engine and used matlab Compiler to create C++ shared libraries instead. It worked perfectly. I only did a small modification on my matlab engine code. So don't bother to examine the code for me any more.
